Solo: A Star Wars Story

Solo: A Star Wars Story “, a feature film that premieres today in Puerto Rico, begins in a familiar way for anyone who has ever seen a” Star Wars “movie at any time during the past four decades. After seeing the Lucas Films logo on screen, the viewer is informed that the story they will see happened a long time ago in a distant galaxy. But after that, the distinctive magic of the universe that George Lucas captured on the screen for the first time in 1977 diminishes considerably.

So let’s go straight to the point. Is “Solo: a Star Wars Story” a bad movie? No, it is not. Like most films in director Ron Howard’s filmography (“A Beautiful Mind”, “Apollo 13”), “Solo” is effective entertainment from start to finish with a very attractive audiovisual proposal. The problem is that to evaluate this production as the new film by the director of “Splash”, “The Da Vinci Code” and “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” would be a convenient way to ignore that the only reason why this film reaches the Cinemas is because it is an expansion of the “Star Wars” universe, one of the most lucrative preventative properties in the history of commercial cinema.

So we go with the second question that probably has worried the fans of these films, a group to which I belong since 1977. Is “Solo” the worst movie of “Star Wars”? The answer to this is also negative. That distinction still belongs to “Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace.” This film is far from the flaws associated with the trilogy of prequels that returned George Lucas to the director’s chair, but it does share the essential narrative problem of those films. In the same way that the first three episodes concentrate on presenting how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, the story of Solo focuses on giving us the origins of the titular character.
